Up to April 1998. Metal detecting. [3].
Undated mystery object! A D-section curved cast copper alloy rod with, at one end, a wider attachment terminal, and at the other a cast animal head. The attachment terminal appears to originally have been oval; it is now broke in half and has a single rivet hole with iron corrosion. The animal head is schematically modelled with open jaws; a separate copper alloy rivet passes through the muzzle and lower jaw. Possibly part of a handle? The side and neatness of the copper alloy rivet makes it look medieval.

Mystery object found up to April 1998 is part of a rather worn prick spur with riveted terminal for strap similar to those on the complete example from NHER 31655 Surlingham. The rivet near the broken end is probably the proximal end of an iron goad. 9th century, (S7).
